fine imposed for not making biometric attendance in pmch by nmc bihar latest news update 2024
Latest Updated 26/06/2024: Lack of faculty, resources and absence of biometric attendance by professors has cost the state's largest government hospital, PMCH, dearly. The National Medical Council (NMC) imposed a fine of Rs 4 lakh on PMCH. NMC has imposed this fine after assessing the annual report on various points.
In an e-mail sent by NMC to Principal Vidyapati Chaudhary, Undergraduate Medical Education Board Director Shambhu Sharan Kumar said that the fine amount will have to be deposited in NMC's account within seven days. Only after this fine, the board will approve 200 seats for MBBS studies to PMCH. He said that NMC had objected to many points of the principal's declaration. Last week on 18 June, the principal presented his side on these points before NMCH through video conference. NMC did not find it satisfactory.

Technical flaw is the reason for not being able to record attendance: Principal
Dr. Vidyapati Chaudhary said that NMC had raised objections on 16 vacant posts of associate professors and biometric attendance not being 100%. In response, it was said that the age of many professors and senior teachers is more than 60 years. Many times biometric attendance cannot be made with their fingers. In such a situation, attendance is made in the register. Due to construction work in PMCH, internet and electricity are often disrupted for hours. In this situation, biometric attendance cannot be made.
